My writing brain is atrophied and pathetic, alas. If any of you who still have me flisted and still want to read SGA have mini ficlet ideas I would gladly collect prompts. The only fic ideas I seem to have at the moment are epic and ridiculous.
Also, would welcome any updates of a fannish or personal nature you'd care to share. Sorry I am a lame LJ friend. Working on that.

Happy to obliege. *G*
Atlantis returned back to Pegasus after EatG. John and Rodney standing on one of Atlantis' balconies a few minutes after the city landed. :-)
The personal: I'm currently chomping on some Iced Vo Vo's so, if that sparks anything in your brain, that is a prompt :D
Berryann commented with a few screencaps of John wearing a small leather strip around his wrist and John wearing a necklace (from the episode "Broken Ties" IIRC). In both cases it's John Flanigan's own "jewelry" that shows but since it's visible on screen, that makes Sheppard wearing it pretty much canon, right? ;-)
Now, how about a short ficlet revolving around how it comes that Sheppard's bracelets/necklaces emerge suddenly, are there for the one or other odd episode and are gone again later?
Was he visiting the kid's planet and one of the little ones gifted him with this kid-made necklace? ;-) One of the Athosian kids? Anything else?
What is the history/significance of the leather strip (that's hidden beneath the wristband for most of the time) around his wrist that goes far back to his time before Afghanistan (since we also see it on him in "Phantoms")?
Just an idea.

Okay, here's another one. :-)
Cunning Todd thinking about Earth food customs and how it could support his plans.
The "backstory" to that idea:
We've seen Todd offer food (fruits) to the team when they visited his hive-ship to open negotiations over Keller's modified retro-virus version. Over the course of the series he also comes across as intelligent, perceptive, cunning - someone who thinks outside the (Wraith-)box, draws conclusions, collects information about how humans think and behave (remember that he offered Sam his hand because it's a custom among humans - and then added the bit with "wraith humor"?), what makes them tick, all to include this when developing plans. He's definitely a "know your enemy/food"-kind of guy.
So, Wraith feed through their feeding hands and they apparently enjoy different "tastes" (defiance, fear etc). Humans have developed an entire cultural branch that revolves around recipes, preparing food, cooking and eating - what about the Wraith, do they have an equvalent to this?
How about Todd pondering this (odd to him?) cultural quirk of making such a fuss over one's meal. Or wondering about human culture of cooking/eating. Or comparing "Wraith eating culture" to the human one. Or something similar. The peg to hang the ficlet could be the time Todd is deciding on how to treat the team when they visit for negotiations and his thoughts leading to the decision that he's going to offer them food - what we finally see on screen.
Of course, not because he likes them so much but just because it fits into his plans, contributed to the impression he wanted to make etc (well, he did make the typical "wraith-humor" remark of hoping the fruits are as tasty as the farmers who grew it).
How about O'Neill sends his snarky little emo-clone to Atlantis when the Trust tries to kidnap the kid from his college dorm?
Or, or, or... Carter stops by on her nifty new starship and they throw that "Going Away" party they didn't get to give her back when the IOA yanked her outa there.
From ComicbookMan: The Lost Tribe of Asgard sends a diplomatic envoy. They feel really bad about what happened. Or not?
